Trevor Hofbauer captured his third Canadian marathon title on Sunday, while Malindi Elmore won the women's crown at the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon.

Lee Wesselius of River Glade, N.B., a large-animal veterinarian, was ninth overall and the third Canadian (2:16:51). Antonina Kwambai of Kenya was the overall women’s winner (2:23:20). He also won the Toronto race in 2017 and ’19, where he set his personal best of 2:09:51.
